Interesting, producer Ridley Scott chimes in on the video at one point and explains that to him, the Alien / Xenomorph was always conceptually a weapon - which is evident by his approach with the beast in his Alien prequels - which was used to cleanse and eradicate life on planets. This bodes well for the maintenance of his lore established throughout Prometheus and Alien: Covenant.
